Abstract

The worldwide lockdown and epidemic of the COVID-19 virus has caused widespread panic and dread. This phenomena has had both immediate and long-term effects on the psychological well-being of children and teenagers. Many variables, including a child's developmental age, educational background, the presence or absence of a mental health problem, socioeconomic situation, and isolation due to illness or fear of infection, affect the nature and severity of an event's effect on a child.
